I know I said this wouldn't happen again, but our guitarist is having trouble when he uploads songs. They never seem to come out in order. I've never had trouble, but I've always used zeros in the track numbers. Do you think this is why they come out wacky?

Anyway, could you please move the tracks around in this show so that it matches the playlist in the description? Thank you!!

The files are displayed in the player in alphanumeric order. Things that will impact this:
1. not using two digit track numbers if there are more than 9 tracks.
2. using spaces in the files names
3. not using file names that allow for sorting of the tracks.

In this case, #2 and #3 come into play. The files names are structured as follows:

EventName-SetNumber-TrackName-TrackNumber

Throw in spaces and it impacts it even more. If the uploader does not want to use standard etree naming (bandabbrevYYYY-MM-DDtnn.flac, ie, skyfoot2017-06-24t01 or skyfoot2017-06-24s1t01 ), my suggestion is to simply put the track number at the beginning of the file name. In this case, you could even add the set number before the track name.

101_Tupelo
102_Rhymes

I'll do my best to clean it up. Check back in about an hour.
